High court to look at life in prison for juveniles (AP)

This October 2002 photo provided by the Equal Justice Initiative shows Terrance Graham, 15, in Jacksonville, Fla. Graham, implicated in armed robberies when he was 16 and 17, was given a life sentence without parole by a judge who told the teenager he threw his life away. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Monday, Nov. 9, 2009, that locking up juveniles and throwing away the key is cruel and unusual punishment, and thus unconstitutional. Graham, now 22, is in prison in Florida. (AP Photo/Graham Family)AP - Joe Sullivan was sent away for life for raping an elderly woman and judged incorrigible though he was only 13 at the time of the attack.
